This afternoon, just after I finished grocery shopping and putting away groceries, I found 2 small pudding packs hidden in the fridge. I have to hide these items from my boyfriends son, who happens to be 16 and though he eats like a pig, is still built like a recent escapee from a concentration camp. I decided to share my pudding with him and offered him the 2nd pack.
As he pulled himself a spoon from the top drawer, I used my best "we walked a mile uphill in the snow to school" voice and said to him, "you know, when I was young, we didn't have little pudding packs like these. If we wanted pudding, we had to buy the pudding powder, get out the hand mixer and mix the powder with milk. Then we had to put it in the fridge and wait an hour for it to chill and thicken before we could have pudding. We didn't have any of these ready-made packs that you can keep for a year and eat whenever you wanted..."
"Wow," he replied with his sarcastic smile. "Look how much we've evolved."
Happy New Year!!
